London Inc, a new reality TV show from The Discovery Channel, has commissioned two giant statues to be build and installed in London for promotion.

The first statue is located near London Bridge and is 46-feet long and 10-feet high. It features a life-like swimmer swimming through the grass. The statue is made out of polystyrene and is hand painted to resemble human flesh.

The second statue is located at Victoria Station. If features a giant woman trying to get into a photo booth.

A spokeswoman for The Discovery Channel said: “We created these because we want people to interact with them. We want people to get out their camera phones and take pictures of them, and of their friends with them. We want to create a real stir.”

Julian Beever is an English artist who has been creating 3D chalk drawings on pavements since the mid-1990s. He makes his art using a projection technique called anamorphosis. When viewed from a particular angle, this technique creates the illusion of 3D.

This futuristic cutting board with integrated LCD display was designed by Marc Nardangeli [Nardo Design]. It features flexible touchscreen LCD display that shows cooking instructions while you prepare your meal.

In addition, new recipes can be downloaded straight to the board. Furthermore, the entire board is made out of eco-friendly components to help preserve the environment.

At this time, this cutting board with integrated LCD display is just a concept. Therefore, do not expect to walk into your local store and buy one of these boards. However, as the prices of LCD screens continue to drop, we could see something like this in the future.
